Frequently asked questions
Can I use the Woody on a classical nylon-string guitar?
No. The Woody SC is a magnetic pickup and will not work with nylon-stringed instruments. It is designed exclusively for steel-string acoustic guitars.
Does the Gold Plated Cover change the sound of my humbuckers?
No. The non-magnetic nickel silver construction has no interaction with the pickup's magnetic field, so it preserves the output and frequency response exactly as the pickup was designed to perform.
What is the key difference in application between these two products?
The Woody SC is a complete amplification solution for acoustic guitars for live performance. The Gold Plated Cover is purely a cosmetic and protective upgrade for existing electric guitar humbuckers that does not change their core tone.
Do either product require modification to my guitar?
No. The Woody mounts directly into any standard soundhole (3.75–4.0 inches) with no modification. The Gold Cover fits standard SH humbuckers with no pickup modification required.
